     I have a KX-P1124.  It's versatile, prints well, and isn't as
obnoxiously noisy as some dot matrix printers.  BTW Roland markets
the identical printer as the PR-2417 Raven.  Roland/Panasonic have
made a good name for themselves in printers, and it looks like they
have another winner here.  Oh, if you can't find it in various
programs' preferences, it emulates the Epson LQ-2500.

     I think the NEC Pinwriter (P2200?) is in the same ballpark.

     And then I saw a Hewlett-Packard DeskJet Plus...  <sigh>

Okay, It looks as if I'm FINALLY gonna get that amiga I've been scrounging
for for the past few years.  Before I go to the WOC on saturday, I have a
few questions:
      First:  I'd get a 2000HD, but I think I'd rather have a SCSI drive
than ST506.  At the moment I'm looking at the Hardframe w/40 meg Quantum
drive, but lately I've been hearing a lot of bad things about using
the hardframe with the rev 6.0 & 6.1 motherboards.
      Anybody have any recommendations/suggestions/commands regarding this?
What happens if I buy this setup, take it home, put it together, and discover
it doesn't work?  
      If this combination won't work, what would you recommend instead?

      Also, anybody have any experience with the Panasonic KXP1124 printer?
I may also try to get one of these Saturday.  Any other printer reccomendations
in the $300-$350 range?

Thanks,
